Welcome to the new Audi RS6 Avant. Power by turbo V8. Interior by Star Wars. Bodywork by The Incredible Hulk. Have you ever seen a more butch family estate car than this?
The old 412kW Audi RS6 was hardly a Q-car, but this new 2019 version is a whopper: 40mm wider at each wheel arch. Yep, it’s a gigantic 80mm wider overall than your manager’s A6 Avant. This is not a car lacking swagger. Those wheels? 22 inches across, to squeeze in the biggest brakes Audi’s ever fitted to a car.
